US sanctions on Iran will be lifted only if it stops enriching uranium, and not simply to attract Tehran back to the negotiating table, Joe Biden has warned. But he said the comments did not mean Tehran had hardened its position ahead of possible talks with the Biden administration. Donald Trump pulled the US out of the nuclear deal in 2018, prompting Iran to roll back most of its commitments under the terms of the accord. The ayatollah hit back, implying the French president was not in a position to tell Iran what to do. “The side which can put conditions on is Iran because Iran implemented all its commitments.” – Copyright The Financial Times Limited 2021
